Scholarship

Bursary

Sponsorship

Loans

Award

Studentship

A funded PhD position,

which is normally

focused on a specific

project.

An award is similar to a

scholarship, but typically

involves smaller amounts

of money.

Sponsorship is help

from your current

employer/government/

benefactor with the

full or partial cost

of a university degree.

There are two formal

loan schemes. The first

is the Professional and

Career Development

Loan scheme,

administered by some

banks. The second is

the Postgraduate

Master’s Loan scheme

administered by the

Student Loans

Company.

A bursary is typically

provided to help fund

some of the additional

costs associated with

studying, such as travel,

books and equipment.
